About the Course
Witchcraft and Wizardry through observational drawing
In this course, students will experiment and dabble in the creative arts to develop their fundamental illustrative art skills through the traditional practice of observational still life drawing leading on to creation of imaginary characters and story telling.
From an intriguing display of the wizarding kind, including owls, potions and spell books, students will explore various methods and tools to create drawings with strong form and depth, and work towards the creation of a final piece that is truly magical!
Each class will be contextualised with the observational studies of classical Artists such as, DaVinci, Rembrandt, and Morandi.
The key skills gained from observational drawing is highly sought after and used in contemporary creative industries, particularly within illustration and animation.
Students will also be introduced to the studies and work of Disney and Pixar Artists who use the fundamentals of still life drawing to create incredible prop designs that are essential to bringing fictional worlds to life!
